CHARLESTON, W. VA, January 30
The construction placed by President Price
on the fifteenth section of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, that it only
requires the presence ola majority of each
house to constitute quorum of the joint
assembly, and that a majority of such quo
rum is sufficient to elect United States
Senator, has OccasiOned q great deal of dis
cussiOn and exchange of opinion among
the members and has put all sides on the
alert to guard against any coup d'etat by
which Senator might possibly be selected
from the wrong side of the house. The
section, after providing the manner of
voting in the two houses on the second
Tuesday after the meeting and organiza-
tiOn of the Legislature, and fnO person has
7 then been elected, further provides that
the joint assembly shall then proceed TO
choose by a viva yOee vote OF each member
present person for Senator, and the per-
son who receives majority OF the joint
assembly, majority of all the members
elected to both houses being present and
voting, shall be declared duly elected"
PLAIN.
1t seems rs if there can be no other con-
structiOn placed upon this language, and
As it is plain and unequivOCal and nearly
all the lawyers here agree with the opinion
of Mr.. Price. From this it may be seen
that Ii beinga majority of the Senate, and
33 a majority of the House, a. in all will
constitute quorum of the joint assembly,
and If only that number should be present
2l votes would be sufficient to elect. This
fact has caused quite a number of the
members who desired to obtain leave of
absence to go to their homes, TO remain
here, and all sorts of rumOrs are aflOat as
to schemes being formulated by the differ
ent parties to walk in and capture the
plum while the opposition are not on the
lookout.
The members of the Committee to in
veStigase the penItentiary will not leave
Tor MOuudSyille until some conclusion has
been reached in the Senatorial contest,
fearing that some such attempt as | have
mentioned might be made.

WHAT GLORIOUS RELIGION!


Submerge ME with it, gil my eyes and
ears with it, put it under my dying head
for pillow-ths delusion-spread it over
me for canopy, put 1t underneath me for
an outspread wiDg-roll it over NE in
ocean surges ten thousand fathOms deep!
o, if infidelity, and il atheism, and il an
Inhalation are reality, and the Christian
religion is a delusiOn, give me the delu-
sion!
The strong conclusion of oyery man and
woman in the house is that Christianity
producing such grand results cannot be a
delusion. A lie, cheat, a swindle, an
halluciDation cannot lanch such 4
glory of the centuries. Your logic and
your common sense convince you that
a bad cause cannot produce an illustriOus
result: Ou; of the womb of such monster
no such angel can be born. There are
many in this house this morning, in the
with thinking that the Christian religion
was stupid farce who have come 10 the
conclusion tina. it il reality. Why are
you here to-day? Why did you sing this
song? Why did you bow your head in the
opening prayer? Why did you bring your
family with you? Why, when | tell you
of the ending of all trials in the bnsom OF
God, do there stand tears in your eyes
not tears of grief, but tears Of JOY such as
stand in the eyes of homesick children far
away at school when some one talks 70
them about going home? Why is it that
you can he 50 calmly submissive to the
death of your loved one, about whose de-
parture you once were 50 angry and so re-
bellious? There Is
SOMETHING THE MATTER WITH YOU.
All your friends have found out there is a
great change And if some OF yon would
give your experience, you would give it in
scholarly style, and Others giving your ex-
perience would give it in broken style, bui
the one experience would be just as good

aisle OF any church in ChristendOm, and /
will find on either side that aisle those who
were once prOhigate, profane, unclean OF
speech, and unclean of action, drunken
and lost. But by the power of this delu-
sion of the Christian religion they have
been completely transformed, and now
they are kind and amiable and genial and
loving and useful. Everybody sees the
change. Under the power of this great
hallucination they have quit their former
associates. and whereas they once found
their rchiefdelightamong those who gambled
and SwOre and raced horses, now they find
their chief joy among those who go to
prayer meetings and churches; so complete
is the delusion. Yea, their own families
have noticed it. The money that went
fdr rum now goes for docks and for clothes
and for education. He is a new man. All
who knew him say there has been a won
derful change. What is the cause of this
change? This great hallucination Of the
Christian religion. There is as much diff
ference between what he is now and what
he once was, rs between a rose and a net
tie, as between a dove and a vulture, as
day and night. Tremendous delusionl

betrayers. As the writer above says !:
"They are for anything or against it,
as necessity compels or chance of
victory inspires them" The Prohibi-
ton parry may by these tactics, and
remembering how strong the love OF
"spoils" is in the average Republican
heart, compel them to incorporate a
Prohibition plank in their platform.
They will not do it for love OF prohibit
ton; for while nearly all Prohibition
lists happen to be Republicans, the
great mass of Republicans love their
toddy as dearly as any of Petroleum
V. Nasby's crossroads people are
painted as loving it.

ONE Of the leading Prohibition I

ONE of the leading Prohibition pa
pers OF the country thus correctly
sums up the philosophy of the Repub-
lican party: GAS the Abolitionists
forced the making over of the old
Wing party and its conversion into
the Republican party, so the Prohibi-
tionists, if they keep up the courage of
their convictions, can force the max
ing over OF the Republican party into
Prohibition party. The Republican
party in this State really started off as
Prohibition party. 1t began to
form, or "fuse," as the word was
then, after the defeat of Scott for the
President, in 1852, and passed a
Maine Law, which Governor Sey-
mour vetoed; and in 1854 it elected
Myron H. Clark Governor over
Horatio Seymour on the prohibition
issue. Make the adoption of prohibi-
tion-make anything, for that matter,
necessary to possible Republican sue
cess, and the Republican leaders will
accept it. They are for prohibition or
against it-for anything or against it,
as necessity compels or chance of vic
tory inspires Them" There is a good
deal in it if there is Prohibition
strength and consistency enough
to make the issue on. We forget that
prohibition is no new thing. 1t carried
New York and that against Seymour
a whole generation ago. 1t could not
Gerry New York to-day against any
one. Then again, too many Prohibi-
tionists are Republicans first and Pro-
hibitionists afterwards. They try to
persuade others to what they do not
believe themselves-that the Repub-
lican party is at heart for prohibition,
and that in the face of the records Of
the old Republican whisky rings. The
] fact is that there is no hope for the
Prohibitionists outside of an independ-
ent organization, and then they must
go into weak Republican States, fuse
! with Democrats and thus defeat their

and frugal family. Five acres will
produce better fare and cleaner clothes
for the family than quarter section
in the West. The one hundred and
sixty-acre farm in the West will cost
improved, fenced and with houses,
$40, 900 to $4,000. For this and with
careful cultivation, by hard toiling all
the year, the family will reap enough
wheat to buy board and clothes. On
the same basis that is the value OF
every five-acre patch of good orchard
or vineyard in South California. And
yet we are considered wild in holding
these properties at half or even one
quarter the smaller sum.

BallOna HarbOr and Improve
ment Company.


tains and others interested in having
a good harbor on the Pacific ocean
near Los Angeles have looked at and
talked about Ballona lake. This lake
is situated three miles south of Santa
Monica, and is partly on the Sausal
Redondo Rancho of d. Freeman, and
partly on the Ballona Rancho of l..
Messmer. 1t is separated from the
ocean by narrow ridge of sand hills.
All that was necessary in order to
make it a good harbor was to cut
through this ridge and protect the beach
and banks against the sea. About
year ago James Campbell, Peter
Taylor and Juan Bernard brought this
harbor project before M. L. Wicks,
the capitalist, and d. Freeman and
Louis Messmer, owners of the land on
which the lake was situated. Mr..
Wicks, with his usual foresight, at
once agreed to put money into the
scheme, and Mr.. Freeman offered
three hundred and seventy acres of
fine land adjoing the lake, and Mr..
Messmer about forty acres of ocean
frontage. A company was at once
formed with James Campbell as presi-
dent, and railway was projected and
built to Los Angeles. An immense
steam dredger, the largest in the Uni
ted States was built, and was
lately towed into the har-
Dor, and the excavations COM
menced. A large amount of tim
ber and four steam pile drivers were
bought and the work of cribbing and
bodybuilding commenced. After
several hundred feet of piers had been
built, it was found that the teredo was
eating the piles at an alarming rate.
Work ON the piers was at once sus-
pended, and the company are now
erecting creosoting works for the pur-
pose of protecting the piles and timber
against the teredo. This is a very ex-
pensive and slow process, but creo-
soted piles driven twenty-five years
ago, are now as good as the day
they were driven; and the company
were determined to spare no expense
in making their work durable and
good. The three hundred and twenty
acres of land donated by Mr.. Freeman
have been divided into lots, and will
bring into the treasury of the company
over one million dollars. The condi-
ton of the gifts of land by Messrs.
Freeman and Messmer was that the
ntire proceeds of the sale of the lands
should be used in the building of
wharves, piers and docks and in
dred ging and deepening the lake. 1t
is calculated that by the first day of
January next the harbor will be so
far completed as to allow all vessels
drawing not over fourteen feet OF water
to enter into and ride safely therein.
The present officers Of the company
are M. L. Wicks, President; Louis
M essmer, Vice-President; Juan Ber-
nard, Treasurer d. Freeman, James
Campbell, Directors S. P. Rees, Sec
retary; and d. Freeman, General
Manager. These names are a suffic-
lent guarantee to the people of Los
Angeles that the work will be speedily
and we'll done. When completed the
harbor will open a new era in the
prosperity OF this county. Lumber,
coal and all other commodities brought
from other ports will be greatly re-
duced in price, and our farmers will
be able to choose from the markets of
the world for the sale of their pro-
duce.
